this is why the coastal climate is not as expected, you need a Nino?

I have not been there but my colleagues who visit Rossing mine seem to like the place
A lot of german tourists also like the place. For the next two months they will be here in droves. At the moment it is hard to get a seat in a restaurant.
So far I am enjoying myself. The scenary is magnificent. On the coast it reminds me of the Atacama. The interior has a Pilbara / kimberly feel to it.
